Nature Air, Costa Rica's and the world’s first carbon neutral airline, announces the perfect solution for families looking to travel on a budget this year. The airline is bringing back its popular "Kids Fly Free" program, making transportation for a family of four much more affordable.

This year, Nature Air has teamed up with some of the top hotels in Costa Rica to offer families an unforgettable vacation at an unbeatable price. The Kids Fly Free program will be offered from May 20 through December 15 for up to two children, 12-years-old and under, with the purchase of two adult Flex tickets. Partnering hotels are also offering free accommodations for children when travelers book tickets through Nature Air. Select hotels are also offering free meals for children throughout their stay.

“As a father of two and frequent traveler, I understand the financial impact of taking the whole family on vacation,” said Alex Khajavi, CEO of Nature Air. “Costa Rica is the perfect destination for families because of the unique adventures and learning opportunities available, not to mention the flight from the U.S. is easier than flying cross-country. It’s our goal to make this Costa Rica vacation experience more attainable for families with young kids.”

Since its inception in 2000, Nature Air has grown from flying 18,000 passengers annually to more than 110,000 in 2010. Nature Air is the only twin-engine airline in Costa Rica with both scheduled and chartered flights, and offers 74 daily flights to 15 destinations in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama.

Escrow refers to a money deposit entrusted to an agent, usually by way of a bank to bank wire transfer, to be kept in custody, and to be managed and disbursed according to a real estate agreement. An escrow deposit provides security for all parties involved in a transaction.

Escrow provides the management of funds that will be used for the actual property purchase or sale, and the funds that may be required for all the administrative fees and other associated costs to close the real estate property transaction.

The process is not much different in the Costa Rica Real Estate market than it is in most other countries. Just as you would in any country, those looking to buy properties in Costa Rica should consult with a Costa Rica lawyer, who can not only guide you through the escrow process, but the entire real estate process.

The Costa Rican legal system, as your attorney will tell you, is designed to protect real estate purchasers and investors, and help them achieve their purchases and/or development of projects.

Your Costa Rican lawyer can act as an escrow agent. An escrow agent is an impartial participant and acts in good-faith on your behalf. The agent becomes responsible for the funds when they are received and accepted.

The main interested parties, of course, are the depositor and the beneficiary of such a deposit. Also, the buyer in the transaction is guaranteed that contract conditions will be satisfied prior to any funds being released. Again, this provides security and peace of mind for all parties involved. Not only is the buyer assured that his or her money is safe, but the seller is also ensured that the buyer does in fact have the financial ability to complete a specific transaction.

It is quite common in many countries for the escrow agent to be a legal firm. In Costa Rica, all agents must register with the governmental entity called SUGEF, which stands for “Superintendencia General de Entidades Financieras.” The SUGEF is a public entity in Costa Rica that supervises banks and administrators of third party funds.

In Costa Rica, you can be assured that an escrow agent is a neutral third party in the entire transaction who can be trusted, and will act responsibly at all stages of the transaction.
